How many of us could be cheerful in these circumstances? It’s common to hear complaints about having something that we want not immediately available these days. Paul had the certainty about what he was doing and where he was, true contentment, resting completely in the hands of the living God. How much more cheerful could we be if we recognize that all of our circumstances are in His amazing hands? Are we cheerful or complaining?

We trust in You for we know that You care for us!
